The remaining four experts from the Sun Family were stunned, each of them unable to respond with words.
Before Ling Yun made his move, he had told them definitively that as long as they spilled the whereabouts of the Zhuang Family and Tang Tianhao and then left Qingshui City, he would spare their lives.
At that moment, the Sun Family had thirty people while Ling Yun only had three people. By saying such a thing, anyone would have thought that he was just shamelessly boasting. Nobody believed him at all.
Of course, what they didn’t expect was that after Ling Yun declared war, he did it without any hesitation, not showing any mercy either!
Ling Yun had offered them the opportunity to choose between their life and death. Unfortunately, it was just one chance!
In the blink of an eye, both sides only exchanged blows once. Out of the thirty experts from the Sun Family, twenty-six had already lost their lives. Their limbs and corpses were scattered on the floor, their blood flowing and creating a river. The Zhuang Family residence had turned into a devilish hell!
“You... do you have any idea who you just killed?” The expert at the pinnacle of Houtian Realm Level Nine stabbed his longsword on the ground, barely supporting his quivering body as he pointed at the corpses around him and spoke in a shaky breath.
“Of course, they’re people in my way!” Ling Yun replied coldly.
“Are you not afraid of becoming the enemy of all the sects?”
Ling Yun suddenly burst out laughing. The corners of his lips curled into a smile, and the confusion and condescension in his eyes were apparent. He said mockingly, “Could it be that, if I were afraid of them, they would choose not to go against me?”
The swordsman at the pinnacle of Houtian Realm Level Nine still wanted to say more. However, with a piercing smile, Ling Yun scoffed. “Enough of your bullsh*t. If I were the one who died when more than ten of your experts launched an attack at me, would you still be saying all of this to me?”
“That...” The pinnacle of Houtian Realm Level Nine expert was at a loss for words!
Ling Yun’s words were very straightforward. It was obvious that everyone understood — if he didn’t kill them, they would have killed him. The winner was the one who took it all. Justice stood on the side of the strong. No matter what they said now, that was the truth.
Ling Yun smiled coldly as he said, “I’ll give you one minute to tell me where the Zhuang Family is and where Sun Tianbiao took Tang Tianhao. Perhaps I’ll consider giving you a chance to live after that.”
With Ling Yun’s listening abilities, he was able to hear every little movement within a radius of fifty meters. He could already tell that inside the Zhuang Family’s residence, other than the Sun Family’s experts, nobody else was there. He came here to save them but found nothing.
Actually, with a little thought, he already knew the answer. Sun Tianbiao brought so many people at once, and they weren’t staying in a hotel. After they seized Zhuang Tiande and his family, they were definitely hiding in one of their residences.
With a shiver, the pinnacle of Houtian Realm Level Nine expert replied without hesitation, “The Zhuang Family is staying at another mansion. Sun Tianbiao sent some regular experts to watch over them. As for that Tang Tianhao, he should be there too.”
Thinking for a bit, he quickly added, “But rest assured. The Zhuang Family knows nothing about Niu Fenjiao and Sun Xing’s whereabouts. Sun Tianbiao didn’t torture them, he just temporarily restricted their movements.”
Ling Yun nodded then asked in a deep voice, “How about Sun Tianbiao? Where is he?”
The swordsman at the pinnacle of Houtian Realm Level Nine replied honestly, “Sun Tianbiao brought some men to capture Tang Tianhao. Right now, he must be questioning him individually at that mansion too.”
“Ling Yun, there’s really nobody here...” Searching the Zhuang Family’s residence for a while, Dugu Mo returned and told this to Ling Yun telepathically.
Ling Yun nodded lightly and asked the four, “Out of the four of you, which of you has gone to that mansion before?”
The four of them looked at each other for a while. Finally, the pinnacle of Houtian Realm Level Nine expert shivered as he said, “I have...”
Ling Yun was elated, as it would save him a lot of trouble.
He was emotionless as he pointed to the other three with one finger and asked dryly, “Do the three of you want to live or die?”
“Live!” Their faces were filled with fear as they said this, their teeth chattering. They didn’t want to become like the ice-cold corpses lying on the ground
Ling Yun smiled lightly as he said, “Since you want to live, then obliterate your own martial arts abilities now, then leave Qingshui City immediately!”
Out of the four, one of them was obviously from a different sect. Within the people that Ling Yun had just killed, some of their brethren or friends must have been there. Right now, the very fact that he gave them a route to live was already a huge act of generosity.
“What?!”
“This...”
The swordsman at the pinnacle of Houtian Realm Level Nine had a huge change in his expression. Turning to look at the other two Houtian Realm Level Nine experts, he saw despair and reluctance in their eyes.
The fact that they were able to cultivate their abilities to Houtian Realm Level Nine meant that they had the potential to reach the Xiantian Realm in the future. Right now, telling them to obliterate their martial arts capabilities meant the same as killing themselves.
“Run!” Without thinking twice, those three experts leaped into the air simultaneously, each running in different directions!
“Kill them!” Ling Yun was already prepared. Narrowing his eyes, he used the Dragon Fish Phantom Ability to catch up to the swordsman in an instant. He raised his blade and slashed at him without hesitation!
Simultaneously, Cui Lao and Dugu Mo moved out as well, each of them blocking the other two Houtian Realm Level Nine experts, engaging them in battle.
The swordsman at the pinnacle of Houtian Realm Level Nine knew the strength of Ling Yun’s Devil’s Blade. In the face of the Devil’s Blade, his longsword was nothing more than a wood-cutting axe. He could only use all of his power to raise his blade above his own head, hoping to block Ling Yun’s Devil’s Blade if only for a moment as he attempted to dodge to the side.
“Hmph, merely child’s play!” This slash of Ling Yun’s was merely a feint. Seeing that the person was about to dodge, he used the Dragon Fish Phantom Ability once again to seal off his escape. Towards the figure that couldn’t stop his momentum, Ling Yun swung his blade consecutively!
They were three perfect slashes!
The first slash broke the swordsman’s blade, the second slash sealed off his next escape route, and the third slash pierced his body!
“Ugh!” In the blink of an eye, the swordsman at the pinnacle of Houtian Realm Level Nine was cut in half as fresh blood spurted out!
Ling Yun no longer gave those two Houtian Realm Level Nine experts another opportunity. Using the Dragon Fish Phantom Ability twice, he ended their lives one after the other. Then, he landed lightly in front of the expert at the pinnacle of Houtian Realm Level Eight.
Throughout the entire process, the expert at the pinnacle of Houtian Realm Level Eight didn’t move a muscle. He completely gave up on his escape.
“What’s your name? Why didn’t you try to escape?” Ling Yun asked him plainly.
“Run? Within a hundred meters, even an expert specializing in Qinggong at the pinnacle of Houtian Realm Level Nine couldn’t match your speed. How could I possibly escape?”
The expert at the pinnacle of Houtian Realm Level Eight laughed in despair as he said, “My name is Bi Yuanjia.”
In the battle before, Ling Yun had swung at Bi Yuanjia once and even sent a Steel Nail flying his way. However, he had dodged it using Qinggong. He was indeed an expert that specialized in Qinggong.
And it was precisely because of this that he knew exactly how amazing Ling Yun’s movements and abilities were, so he preemptively gave up his opportunity to escape.
Ling Yun smiled lightly and said, “Your Qinggong abilities are pretty good, and you have good judgment too. Let’s go, take me to Sun Tianbiao!”
Bi Yuanjia hesitated for a while as he looked at Ling Yun. Suddenly, he said, “Sun Tianbiao has three Xiantian Realm experts on his side. Are you sure you want to go?”
“No need to concern yourself with that. Lead the way!”
Sweeping his gaze over the corpses lying all over the ground, Bi Yuanjia didn’t say another word. Turning silently, he headed in the southeastern direction.
...
The four of them sprinted toward the southeast. Ling Yun could tell that they were headed towards the Qingshui Wharf mansions. In his heart, he immediately understood that Zhuang Tiande’s other mansion was definitely in Qingshui Wharf.
Even though Bi Yuanjia was only at the pinnacle of Houtian Realm Level Eight, his Qinggong wasn’t any worse than an expert at the pinnacle of Houtian Realm Level Nine. In the night sky, his feet barely touched the ground as if he was cruising along the clouds.
Ling Yun was using the Thousand Miles Godly Steps. Without hurrying at all, he followed behind Bi Yuanjia. But it looked as if he was strolling in his own living room with both of his hands clasped behind his back. Strolling lightly, it seemed like he was very relaxed.
With both of his hands clasped behind his back, his upper body was as straight as a pen. With every light step, he traveled two to three meters. This was something that even Cui Lao and Dugu Mo couldn’t do.
“You’re not wearing Golden Silk Armor...”
While they were traveling, Bi Yuanjia couldn’t stand this oppressive atmosphere. Right now, he was no longer afraid of dying. Hence, he asked each of the questions he had, deciding that even if he died, he wanted the answers to those questions.
Ling Yun smiled and responded, “That’s right!”
“But your body was able to block all of those blades and weapons, taking barely any damage at all...”
“That’s right...”
“How did you make that sword appear? And where have all your blades gone now?”
“A secret...”
“Who are you? You’re holding the Devil’s Blade. Are you from the Devil Sect?”
“If you want to die afterwards, I can tell you about it...”
“...”
Hearing this, Bi Yuanjia didn’t say another word and sprinted forth with all his might. He knew that it was possible that Ling Yun would let him live afterwards.
...
At Qingshui Wharf’s residential area, the sea breeze was light. By the sea at the foot of the mountain, the gentle waves lapped against the beach, as if it were a lover’s whisper.
Compared to the other brightly lit mansions, Mansion Number Nine was shrouded in complete darkness, and the night was abnormally silent. After the place was locked down, nobody had come by for four days.
At this moment, a girl in floating white clothes was holding a blade in her right hand. With a light appearance, her feet tapped the ground softly as she stepped on the edge of the thin twigs of the tree. It was as though an illusory fairy from the clouds had floated past, not carrying a single stain from the mortal world.
She was very fast, her silhouette more beautiful than any other. Her movements were like a light mist. Standing on the treetop in the forest, her dreamy silhouette seemed to be flying. Traveling over a hundred meters, she quickly arrived at the entrance of Mansion Number Nine.
This girl was beautiful with delicate features. With snow-white skin and bright-red lips, her flawless skin shone like a jewel. The edges of her lips carried a hint of a smile. She stood on the treetop as her long dress floated in the wind. It was as though she were a fairy from the nine heavens above, conveying purity and elegance. It was as if any human that laid eyes on her would be committing a crime.
“Sister was right, this brat really set up a formation. You can’t get in unless you go by the front door...”
The fairy in white stood on the treetop. Gliding with the wind, she was like a floating fairy. Her beautiful eyes scanned Mansion Number Nine for a while before she sighed lightly.
That voice of hers was sweet and gentle, it was unforgettable, it was as though it were a sound of nature.
“There’s actually a seal on it? Looks like this brat has been up to no good...”
The fairy in white noticed the seal on the entrance of Mansion Number Nine. Unable to hold back a giggle, she stepped lightly on the treetop as her snow-white dress danced in the sky. She was like a fairy that had descended from the nine heavens, slowly making her way down to the earth.
